We are now in a “learn by experience” stage of the internship.
This week was all about seeing how much we have learned and if we could do everything on our own. I really enjoy it. Everything we did this week was hands on work. Hardin mostly sat back and let us run everything. Sometimes we had full reign over the production of the show to gage if we learned everything. We were able to put everything we learned in motion. This week was by far the most freedom we have been given this summer to run the board ourselves.
Besides running the board and the commercials, we continued to learn and practice how to input the spots and rejoins into the “phant” system. This aspect of the internship is still somewhat difficult. It is an easy process, but you have to make sure you get every detail right because companies are paying for those advertisement spots.
The rejoins are much easier to put in than the spots. I think I have gotten the rejoins down, but I still need work on the spots. The most difficult part about inputting the spots is that they change every day. The order, number of spots and even the spots themselves are different, so you can’t really memorize what to put in. You can only memorize the process of how to do it.
